Scholarship news

Both were ecstatic at receiving the news of their scholarships. Jie Jun expressed, “I was ecstatic to receive the scholarship. Coming from a low-income family, the scholarship enabled me to focus on my studies and not worry about the school fees. I am also proud to be able to represent NTU as a scholar.”

While Roshelle expressed, “It was very unexpected because I did not think that I would get it since there are many others who are eligible. But I am really thankful for this scholarship and will continue to work hard in NTU.”

Experience in SP Business School

Both attribute their success to the supportive and conducive environment in Singapore Polytechnic.

Roshelle found that in spite of the heavy workload, there was “always fun, joy, laughter”. Jie Jun fondly remembers the time he spent in SP “as both enriching and fun… and the friends, I made will stay with him for the rest of his life. It is definitely an experience that I will never forget”.

While in SP, Jie Jun found his first year economics tutor, Ms Angela Koh a great mentor while Roshelle is grateful for her personal tutor Mr Ronald Sathianathan’s helpful advice in her learning journey, as well as other lecturers. Roshelle’ mother too was an inspiration to guide and encourage her.

Both enjoyed their internship experience. Jie Jun had a “magical” experience working in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and vows to find work in the tourism industry once he graduates. Roshelle who had interned in Walt Disney World as well as Jurong Bird Park is still passionate about the tourism industry and hopes to join the tourism industry after she graduates from university.

We are proud of their achievements and glad that they are still passionate about tourism after their diploma course in SP Business School.
